Motorbeurs

This weekend will be the largest annual motorcycle event in the Netherlands. The motorbeurs in Utrecht. It actually starts on thursday, so we went yesterday. Hoping to find some of the equipment we will need for our world trip.
But it turned out rather disappointing. There were very few tankbags; and even fewer that suited our needs. Tools we're mainly aimed at workshops and not so much at traveling. And the available clothing didn't meet our requirements or were very expensive. So we ended up buying only a pair of rain pants for Marianne.
We did have a pretty good time though. Met some people. The guys of MotorTrails (http://www.motortrails.nl) provided us with some information about travelling in China and Myanmar (or should we say around). And finally we bumped into Sjaak Lucassen who already did a 5 year journey around the world on a R1 and is now planning to ride the polar ice (http://www.sjaaklucassen.nl/). Sander greeted him a bit too amicably and the poor man probably didn't have a clue who we were. But what the heck...
